supposed to be defined in the Pilot’s operating handbook for UAS flight manual, but those don’t exist for drones

determines when the craft stalls. This doesn’t change if the vehicle weight changes

increases during any maneuver

load factor

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

this is the answer to any question about who is responsible

Remote PIC

Aircraft always turn in this direction when circling a runway. drivers sit on this side of the car in the US and pilots also sit on this side. its easier for them to look out of this side of the window to see the tower

Left

You're supposed to have one, even though most drones can't be user-repaired and don't provide it

maintenance schedule

helps to prevent an accident chain

Risk management

taking risks to impress others

machismo

doing something without thinking about it

impulsivity

thinking accidents won't happen to you

invulnerability

what's the use? they don't control their destiny

resignation

nobody can tell me what do do

anti-authority

its how you manage your "crew" and you should integrate it into all phases of the operation

crew resource management (CRM)

thats how you should scan for traffic

systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals. let your eyes rest in different areas for a while rather than continuoysly scanning

is like climbing a ladder (north-south)

latitude

is the long way around the planet (the earth is fat cuz it spins)

longitude

contains the weather forecast

standard briefing

is for weather info

AWOS

is for pilots to talk to each other when there's no tower

CTAF

is a base station that broadcasts to pilots when there's no tower

unicom

is used as the CTAF when there's no CTAF (122.9 or 122.95)

multicom

Warm air on top of cold air. fog, haze, low clouds, poor visibility, but smooth air

Temperature inversion

turbulence (because the air is unstable) showery precipitation

moist unstable air

smooth air, poor visibility, and steady (not showery) precipitation (because stable air is usually humid)

stable air

stable air is usually

humid

intermittent preciptation

unstable air

stable

cool + dry

unstable

hot + humid

just means "high altitude", air is thinner, so lift is decreased

high density altitude

means a rain cloud

nimbus

18004KT means

wind is 180 degrees at 4 knots. the first three digits (180) are the compass heading. the last two #s are the wind speed (04)

Compass headings are always relative to ________ north in print not ___________ north

compass headings are relative to true north in print not magnetic north. if its in print it must be true

what does OvC007 mean

sky is overcast at 700 feet. remember, #s are always in hundreds

what does 1 1/2SM mean

Visibility is 1 1/2 statute miles (SM)

BLPY

blowing spray

ice crystals

mist

ice pellets

dust storm

dust /sand whirls

widespread dust

rain

drizzle

sand

funnel cloud

Snow grains

+FC

tornado/water spout

snow

fog

squall

smoke

sand storm

hail

unknown precipitation

Small hail/snow pellets

volcanic ash

haze

CTAF

common traffic advisory frequency. is marked with a c

Awos

is for weather

red flags

mark VFR checkpoints which mean more planes might be there

tick marks

measure minutes between latitude and longtitude degrees. each tick is one minute. bigger ticks mark 5 minutes

charts include measurements

AGL not MSL

is the most restricted airspace

class B

is the least restricted airspace

class E

must get ATC (air traffic control) authorization for class

B, C, and D

airspace from 18000 feet to 60000 feet all over the US

Class A

surrounding major airports, 0 -10000 feet. consists of multiple layers, like an upside down wedding cake

Class B

surrounding airports with a control tower, radar, and over a specific amount of traffic. Usually 5 NM (nautical miles) radius from 0 - 4000 feet, and a 10 NM radius from 1,200 - 4000 feet

Class C

surrounds airport with a control tower, 0 - 2500 feet, no specific radius, just shaped around flight patterns.

Class D

outside control tower hours, class D airspace is

class G

usually it starts at 1,200 feet and goes up to 18,000 feet

class E

uncontrolled airspace (below class E airspace)

Class G

an example of prohibited areas (P-###)

places like Camp David and the white house

restricted areas (R-###) are

it's not prohibited. but if you fly here , it could be dangerous. the government might be testing artillery or missiles or UFOs

warning areas (W-###)

domestic and international waters, from NM outward from the US coast. It's cool to fly there it's just not really managed by he US

Military Operations Areas (MOAs)

consist of airspace with defined limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic.

whenever a MOA is being used nonparticipating IFR traffic may be

cleared through an MOA if IFR separation can be provided by ATC otherwise, ATC reroutes or restricts nonparticipating IFR traffic

MOA will often consist of

multiple restricted areas (R-###). an example of this is chocolate mountain impact area (R-2507) and chocolate mountain aerial gunnery range (R-25070

Alert areas

depicted on aeronautical charts with an "A" followed by a number (eg A-211) to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity. Think skydiving training facility
